A tribute to one of the most iconic Hollywood screen characters, as portrayed by the incomparable Ms. Vivien Leigh. This version depicts Scarlett's pensive expression and melancholy as she bids goodbye to Ashley on his way back to rejoin the army against the Yankees. It turns out this version also fits perfectly in the green dress where she gets frustrated over not having been able to secure the money to pay taxes on Tara.

Full facial repaint and shading as well as extensive hair style make over to replicate the features of the character and the subtle nuances of lifelike expressions.

Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area and an even greater challenge of recreating a real person's likeness. Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.
